Racism 21st Century

[ls317]

The Edgar Ray Killen murder case has reawakened one of the most harrowing chapters of the civil rights era. When the Baptist minister and sawmill operator accused of killing three civil rights workers in June 1964 goes on trial Monday in Philadelphia, Miss., it will prove to some observers that the country is working to put old demons of racism to rest.

But civil rights activists also see disturbing evidence of America's uglier civil rights history repeating itself, citing what had been an intolerance with roots in the South now asserting itself on a national scale.

1. I just came from living in the South for a year, it is pretty bad down

in the South still and from my experiences only getting worst as time goes by....... it is why I am back up North. I could not take it any more.

2. California is no bed of roses

Arnold is keeping the working class in misery while he lives in luxury in Brentwood.

5. OC = Banana Republic

I went to grad school and worked for awhile in OC. There's this weird thing where white suburbanites revel in having young female Mexican office help bring them coffee, fuss over them, basically wipe their behinds for them.

Sickening. I escaped from behind the Orange Wall by getting a gig in LA County.

4. This ties in with a conversation I had

with my brother this weekend. Small town, rising racism against Mexicans all tied in with the anti-immigration crowd. He mentioned people are liking Tom Tancreto's ideas! :(

..."civil rights activists also see disturbing evidence of America's uglier civil rights history repeating itself, citing what had been an intolerance with roots in the South now asserting itself on a national scale."

This is a reaction, IMHO, to all the Fear and Terror propaganda that these people have been inundated with. When people are scared, they start to turn on each other.
